ASSESSYOURSITUATION.Your lender must provide you with a renewal statement at least three weeks before the end of the existing term, but it's best to act sooner. A few months before the end of the term, ask yourself some tough financial questions and do research to determine whether a different mortgage would better suit you and your family.

You work hard for your money. One of your biggest expenses is likely your mortgage. So if you had the opportunity to improve the interest rate, alter the term or otherwise make your mortgage a better fit with your life and finances, wouldn't you take it?

Far too many Canadians do not act on this opportunity when the term of their mortgage expires. They simply renew with their current lender, without seeking better terms or shopping around for a better deal. This, despite the fact that household circumstances often beg for a change in what is often the single-largest expense in the family budget.
